APPLICATION OF POWERLINE COMMUNICATION TO WLAN SECURITY CAMERA SYSTEM

Security camera system at public areas, such as car parks, housing estates, buildings and town centers is increasingly commonplace. It is important to have a good security camera system in order to detect incident and to coordinate police responses. Besides that it will be used as evidence and to inform investigation. For this project, the main focus will be on the security of the Building 22 in UniversitiTeknologiPetronas. The building consists of several Communication Labs which equipped with expensive tools and equipments. The chances for the equipments to get stolen are high since there is no security camera system is implemented in the labs. However, most of the current security camera system in the market uses wireless communication. Because of its drawbacks in security and reliability, another alternative of networking is introduced. In this project, Power line Communication (PLC) is used. The power line communication technology uses existing in-building power distribution wires for data communication. It reduces re-wiring and it is much more affordable compared to the security camera system in the market. The project will outline the connections for all equipment used and the architecture of the system. The report consists of an introduction, problem statement, objectives, literature review and methodology used.
